For The Topping

In a separate bowl, beat the butter and both sugars with a mixer on medium high speed untl fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time on medium speed, then beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined.

Stir the oats, cereal, chocolate chips,pecans and marshmallows into the dough with a wooden spoon. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies in batches until golden. 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool.

The Topping

Combine the chocolate chips, marshmallows, half and half and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat, cook, stirring, until the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the pecans. Drizzle the mixture over the cookies and let set, about 4 hours.

Lets just get us a cup of tea and have a cookie. I sure do hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we have. Hope to see you soon back here at the cottage.

Hi Anonymous,I think you may have missed it, The 1 cup of milk chocolate chips is listed right after the cereal, in the ingredient list, and appears in the method after the cereal addition. I hope you will try these cookies, they are delicious! Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a special week.Miz Helen

Hi Allison,I fixed it...and thank you for asking, I didn't complete the line. It is 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips for the topping. We used this topping on some Ice Cream the other night, oh my goodness it was so good. Thanks for stopping by and have a special week!

Oh my goodness Miz Helen, these marshmallow cookies look seriously delicious! Thank you so much for linking this yummy recipe to Feed Me Tweet Me Follow Me Home. Hope to see you again this week - the linky is up now!

Hi to Anonymous "afraid it will wreck the cookie"I totally understand about the use of cayenne pepper in any recipe and you are right it could wreck the cookie if you get to much. This is a very very mild kick and only made it better. You might try half of the cayenne and see what that is like for you and you can always increase it next time. Let me know how they turn out for you. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy your cookies!
